SSD replace HDD/ file transfer/ technical questions

[lafite1968]

Hello Fellows:

I have a few questions regarding SSD replacement/ files transfer onto my laptop.

My sony VAIO has 2 physical hard drives HDD and equipped with INTEL RAID technology, currently set as RAID 0 for the purpose of faster speed.

I would like to replace the 2 HDD, as one of them is failing, computer often shuts down itself abruptly. S.T.A.R.T. test says status still ok but error are critical; other hardware tests are all ok, Windows has found 8 errors on HDDs, CHKSDK and SFC scan fixed the Windows issues, but the 8 errors seems to me are HDD hardware-problem.

I will like to know how it will be the best way for me to replace two HDD (say #1 and #2) with yr two EVO SSD ( say #3 and #4)

Will it be using the software/ capable:
- from #1 to #3 ( remove the #2 before transfer), then,
-from #2 to #4 ( remove the #1 before transfer)

OR:

Plug both #3 and #4 at the same time and transfer altogether at the same time?

Will it also copy the HDD 8 errors from #2 HDD, also if, the computer shuts down again during transfer, how do I fix the problem??

OR:

Should I remove two HDD (#1 #2) and put the new #3 #4 in, re-set up the INTEL RAID technology for the SSD, then use the SONY VAIO recovery DVDs to clean installation?
Will it be any identification of drive be an problem as HDD and SSD is different?

Furthermore, my laptop is now running vista ultimate, i was told it is on legacy platform? IF...in the future i would like to move on to another OS, such as windows 10 OR ChromeOS, do i need to re-set the Intel RAID setup and wipe out everything and start all over again...? Headache....my budget is tight now that i don't want to spend $ on Windows10, besides all those problems I heard people encountered with windows10....but Vista...i need to face the problem shortly...

Thanks,
